On taxfiler, for sole trader who started part way through the year I have put accounting start date as 1st September 2014 and accounting finish date as 31st March 2015. It's telling me I can't use the short form version when the accounting date has changed. I don't remember coming across this on the HMRC site, so have I done something wrong (should the accounting start date be 1st April 2014 for example) or is this correct? I ticked the box saying is this a permanent change.

It must be one of those days lol. Different client, won't let me put a turnover figure of £41000 or more on the short form, (via the HMRC website this time) says I need to complete a full self employment return. Is this because the client ceased self employment in the October? Looking at it, its 6 months and 5 days so pro rata to the annual figure, it would be about right?
